MOUNT CLEMENS — Time is ticking away for the court to decide if Warren Mayor James Fouts will be allowed to run for another term or if his time in office has reached the voter-approved limit. On March 6 in Macomb County Circuit Court, Judge Joseph Toia heard from attorneys in two cases filed by parties seeking an answer to that question. The cases now before the court are Ronald Papandrea v. Warren Election Commission, and the Warren City Council v. Sonja Buffa. For the sake of judicial economy, the judge decided to consolidate the two cases. Attorneys on both sides want a decision made prior to April 25, which is the filing deadline for candidates seeking a place on the city of Warren’s 2023 ballot. “The two cases are seeking similar relief. They wanted to try to consolidate for the purposes of argument and establishing a briefing schedule,” Toia said. See TERM on page 10A

‘TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE’ IN BOIKE V. GREEN TERM LIMITS LAWSUIT WARREN — The case pitting Gary Boike against Patrick Green was presented in Macomb County Circuit Court on March 6 before Judge Julie Gatti. The crux of the matter is whether Green, the Warren City

PARTIAL TERM SOUGHT BY BOIKE SET TO EXPIRE IN NOVEMBER Council’s president, has exceeded his tenure and should be replaced by Boike, or if he can continue his term and complete his service on the council through November 2023. The roots of Boike’s challenge stretch

back to 2016, when Green was elected to the Michigan House of Representatives after serving two complete four-year terms and one partial term of a little more than one year on the City Council. Green returned

to the council in 2019, winning the election with the most at-large votes, which made him the city’s mayor pro tem. At issue is the partial term of more than a year, and whether it amounts to Green now exceeding the city’s term limits for municipal elected officials. See LAWSUIT on page 22A

WARREN FIRE DEPARTMENT HOLDS ANNUAL AWARD CEREMONY

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

STERLING HEIGHTS — Sterling Heights Police officer Duane Casbar has a message for students who post prank threats against schools on social media. They could face criminal charges for their actions. “There could be fines or a year in juvenile jail. It could be a year on probation, a 10-year jail sentence, or a $20,000 fine. It is ultimately up to the judge,” said Casbar, also the Sterling Heights High School resource officer. Casbar was among a panel of school personnel at the teen vaping awareness and social media consequences workshop Warren Consolidated Schools held March 7 in the Sterling Heights High School Performing Arts Center. “A lot of these (pranks) get sent out at night. Now we’re getting multiple calls at 11 o’clock at night and we have to start our investigation. We want to make sure we can solve it before school starts,” Casbar said. “Some of the kids, they think it’s funny. It’s not funny at all. We have to take everything seriously.” Students also can get into trouble if they forward

WARREN — “You are the real heroes, and you save lives every day,” said Warren Mayor James Fouts. This is just one of the many compliments the mayor had for the Warren Fire Department and Commissioner Wilburt “Skip” McAdams at the Warren Fire Department’s Annual Award Ceremony on March 8. Firefighters gathered with their family, friends, and members of the community and celebrated. Retired Warren firefighters pinned medals on their sons who were continuSee AWARDS on page 11A

prank school threats on social media to their friends and classmates. “If you forward it, now you’re creating a panic,” Casbar said. Casbar shared the stage with guest speakers Natalia Waske, of CARE of Southeastern Michigan; Warren Mott High School counselors Candice Erickson and Alecia West; and Warren Police officers Darryl Bagiano and John Talos. Bagiano is the Warren Mott High School resource officer, and Talos is the Cousino High School resource officer. CARE of Southeastern Michigan offers services and programs that focus on substance abuse prevention; parenting; teen outreach and services; mental and emotional health; and other areas vital to personal and community well-being. “Over the past year, I have spoken with many parents who are simply overwhelmed because their children are addicted to vaping and using social media,” district Superintendent Robert Livernois said. “I hope the event brings forward a continued conversation about this. We truly love our kids and we want them to be successful and healthy. I think the biggest prevention in our schools is to help our parents understand what to look for. It’s a place to start.

WARREN WEEKLY • MARCH 22, 2023

WARREN — If you are a Warren resident living in a single family home, chances are your home was built prior to 1978. You may be exposed to lead-based paint, which can have dire effects on the brain development in small children and the babies of pregnant women exposed to it. The year 1978 is pivotal because lead paint was legal to use in construction prior to this time. Afterward, it was illegal to use, but many properties had it in their homes. “According to the City Assessor’s Office, 96% of Warren’s single family residences were built prior to 1978,” said outreach and intake technician of the Lead Hazard Control Program Timothy Jordan “TJ” Babinski. “This is what makes Warren a good candidate for this grant.” The city of Warren has the Lead Hazard Control Program, which is a federal grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is awarded to qualifying low-income homeowners who are pregnant or have at least one child age 5 or younger living with them or spending a significant amount of time in the home, whose property has a lead hazard. “A significant amount of time is no less than six hours a week, or no less than two visits per week, or no less than 60 hours a year,” said Babinski. “This is a great program,” said James Fouts, mayor of Warren. “But the resident has to initial it and apply.” The application process includes verification of income through check stubs or W-2s. The highest income eligible is 80% of the median income for Warren and Detroit. These are figures used by HUD, said Babinski. According to the HUD chart, a family of one pregnant woman or one with a child 5 or younger who visits significantly can make no more than $50,150 a year and a family of four cannot have a combined income exceeding $71,600 a year.

Applications from families with children who have elevated levels of lead on a blood test will take priority. “Ideally, normal blood levels would be zero, but more realistically it would be less than one microgram per deciliter. Elevated blood lead levels nowaday is considered 3.5 micrograms per deciliter. So, if we see anything over that number we push that application up to the front,” said Babinski. In addition to verifying income and blood test results, the home must be built prior to 1978, owned by the resident and insured before any work is done on the home. Also, the owner and all the residents must be in the United States legally, according to Babinski. According to Babinski, if any hazards are found in the home, licensed contractors will make the home safe. “The work is dependent upon the professional lead inspection that we order. Usually, the most frequent hazards we see are doors and windows. Those areas are a lot of friction. If there are painted surfaces around windows or doors that have deteriorated, that could be a lead hazard,” said Babinski. “Once the paint has deteriorated, it could get into the air as dust, travel throughout the house, get on kids toys, and furniture. Obviously kids are famous for putting their hands in their mouth or other household items.” The contractors have redone porches, windows, doors, garages. “There is really no limit that I’ve seen of the work that can be done,” said Babinski. Recently, a front porch was found to be a lead-based hazard. Contractors tore off the porch and built a new one. “Our goal is to ensure as many of Warren homes are lead-hazard safe for our youngest residents,” said Babinski. To apply for the program fill out the form at cityofwarren.org/lead-hazard-con trol-program-form/ Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1969.

DEMAND SPIKES FOR USED FURNITURE DONATIONS FOR FAMILIES IN NEED BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — People refurbishing their homes this spring might be getting rid of old furniture and replacing it with new items. But if that old furniture is still in good shape, don’t throw it out with the trash — the nonprofit Furniture Bank of Southeastern Michigan can use it. The Furniture Bank supplies families in need with essential furniture pieces, such as beds, mattresses and kitchen tables with chairs. Furniture Bank Executive Director Robert Boyle, of Grosse Pointe Woods, said demand always increases in the spring, and that’s especially true this year, with more than 100 families on a waiting list for furnishings — a figure that’s twice as high as it was only four years ago at this time. The Furniture Bank will collect essential items in good condition from homes across metro Detroit at no charge if these items can be placed in a garage or on a porch, or they will charge a flat fee of $50 to collect any number of essentials from inside the home. Essential items include mattresses, box springs, dressers, end tables, nightstands, coffee tables, sofas and loveseats (excluding reclining sofas and sofa beds), dining room or kitchen tables (excluding glass or heavy marble), dining room or kitchen chairs (in sets of at least two), and living room chairs. The Furniture Bank will also collect as essentials up to five bags or boxes of smaller housewares, such as towels, pots, pans, silverware, lamps, bedding and other basics; the Furniture Bank cannot accept clothing. On April 1, the collection flat fee will increase to $75. Because the need for beds, mattresses and box springs in good condition is so high, Boyle said, the Furniture Bank is currently

HOMES

waiving its fee to remove these items from inside a donor’s home. He estimates that they had more than 300 people waiting for mattresses at press time. “We are one of the few charities in town that will take gently used mattresses and box springs,” Boyle said. For essential items that are structurally damaged, stained, torn, badly worn or damaged by pets, they will haul these items away for $75 per item, whether it’s inside or outside the home. For fees ranging from $75 to $100 per item, the Furniture Bank will also pick up nonessential items from inside or outside of homes, including desks, bookshelves, armoires, china cabinets, buffets, sofa beds, reclining sofas, entertainment centers and TV stands. Proceeds from fees support the work of the Furniture Bank and enable it to hire professional movers to safely remove furniture. Inflation has hit everyone’s pocketbooks, but some people are better positioned to handle higher costs than others. “Hyperinflation disproportionately affects people in need,” Boyle said. Furniture — even used furniture — is an expense many families can’t afford. “Buying furniture means you may not be able to pay your rent or your utility bill, so we continue to see higher levels of referrals,” Boyle said. Of the families the Furniture Bank assists, 90% have an annual income of $20,000 or less, Boyle said. Of those families, he said 70% to 80% have household incomes of $10,000 or less. Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to health and, for children, essential for learning and develop-

ment as well, and adequate rest is not possible when people are sleeping on the floor. The Furniture Bank is life changing to people like Jerika Jones, of Harper Woods, who lost everything after a divorce, the floods of 2021 and a devastating car accident — she was helping her stranded daughter on the side of the freeway last summer when an 18-wheeler slammed into their vehicle, badly injuring them both and leaving Jones unable to work. Jones and her children — two sets of fraternal twins, ages 15 and 22 — had been sleeping on air mattresses and sitting on the floor before the Furniture Bank was able to supply them with real beds and furniture. A gently used leather chaise lounge also now occupies Jones’ bedroom — it’s been ideal for her because of her back injury. “We’re making good strides and picking up our life one day at a time,” Jones said. In spite of multiple unfortunate incidents, Jones maintains her faith and positive

attitude, grateful for things like the kitchen table and eight chairs that mean her family can gather for holiday meals and everyday time together. “Now we’re able to be at my house, putting together a puzzle,” Jones said. She said the furniture has helped her and her family to heal emotionally as well as physically. “It gives us a place to come together comfortably,” Jones said. Boyle said that, in 2022 alone, the Furniture Bank provided 2,300 families with almost 19,000 pieces of furniture, valued at a total of more than $1 million. “There’s a huge need for what we do,” Boyle said. “(We supply) the basics that will get a family off the floor and enable them to live with some semblance of dignity.” To donate or for more information, visit www.furniture-bank.org or call (248) 332-1300.

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College students considering a career in the health care field will now have the opportunity to participate in an apprenticeship. In addition, Macomb’s Michigan Apprenticeship Program Plus, also known as the MAP+ program, will continue to offer opportunities to interested students. Both programs are made possible through federal funding that the college has received. According to Macomb officials, the health care apprenticeship initiative is being funded by $2.6 million secured by U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan. The health care apprenticeship program is brand-new for the college, and an advisory board helped to get it off the ground. “We ran multiple sessions engaging our community partners,” said Narine Mirijanian, the dean of Health and Public Service at Macomb. “The college is very passionate about fulfilling our mission.” The three-year apprenticeship initiative is designed to create a pathway to opportunity and sustainability for students and local health care organizations. So far, two students have acquired apprenticeships and close to 15 students are waiting to be placed. The goal is to have 60 apprenticeships completed over the three years, and also to set a model for the southeast Michigan health care sector. According to a college press release, the

program is designed to provide students the opportunity to earn money while they are learning in the classroom. An apprenticeship program trains future employees to become skilled in a trade or profession. Apprenticeship training combines classroom learning with hands-on work as students prepare for entry-level, patient-centered or business-oriented health careers. “The health care apprenticeship is a new concept for us. It was a vision the college had along with the community,” Mirijanian said. “We are very aware of what’s happening in the community. After COVID, there are significant deficiencies in the workforce. With the apprenticeships, the students could be earning and learning at the same time.” The initiative involves eight programs ranging from six weeks to one year and at least 2,000 hours of on-the-job instruction. Because of the federal grant, the apprentice will incur no costs for tuition, books, laptops, uniforms and background checks. “We’re very excited,” Mirijanian said. “The grant was very well thought through to successfully really start the program.” According to Macomb officials, some students will achieve their career goals with completion of the entry-level program, while others will use it as a stepping stone to continue their education, enhance skills and advance into higher-level opportunities in health care fields. The health care apprenticeships will offer the following certifications: medical reSee PROGRAM on page 17A

Term from page 1A

Papandrea is a licensed attorney and currently a member of the Warren City Council representing District 1. He is representing himself in the case against the Election Commission. Buffa, who is Warren’s city clerk, City Assessor Jennifer Czeiszperger and City Attorney Ethan Vinson sit on the commission. According to Papandrea, he wants to keep what happened in the 2019 election from happening again this year. “Four years ago, four incumbent candidates (on the Warren City Council ballot) were taken off the ballot due to term limits. Their removal from the ballot was after the filing deadline so nobody else could run,” Papandrea said. “You have a strong incumbent; you’re not going to run against that person. But if you know they’re going to be taken off the ballot, you would file. The only people who filed were inferior candidates. And they got elected.” As it now stands, Papandrea has opted to forgo another council run and instead is on the ballot this year for the top spot in Warren City government. “I filed myself for mayor,” said Papandrea. “All I want is a quick decision, so that people who want to run for mayor will know (if they should run). “Fouts cannot be beaten,” Papandrea added. “If he’s on the ballot, he’s going to win.” Lawrence García represents Buffa and the Election Commission and would like to see the following result for his clients. “Clerk Buffa and the Warren Election Commission want the cases filed against them by Ron Papandrea and the Warren City Council dismissed. The Council has no standing — and no reason to sue other than spite,” García said. “Mr. Papandrea misunderstands the controlling law and mistakenly believes the last charter amendment should be given retroactive effect.” Attorney Jeffrey Schroder, representing the Warren City Council in the case filed against Buffa, said, “The Warren Election Commission and the city clerk are both defendants in the case (Warren City Council v. Sonja Buffa) because they are violating the Warren city charter’s term limits that were approved by the voters.” Schroder contends proper notice was not given before a meeting last November where the Election Commission reportedly determined that Fouts was eligible to run for an additional term. “On Nov. 8, 2022, the date of the general election, the Election Commission met at 7:00 a.m. and certified the mayor to run for a fifth term in office for the 2023 city elections,” Schroder said. “The notice for

the meeting did not indicate that the Election Commission would decide issues for the 2023 city election. “The Election Commission and the clerk have a legal obligation to follow the city charter and the will of the people who voted for term limits for the office of mayor,” said Schroder. Both García and Papandrea addressed the court, asking the judge to be mindful of strict time constraints. “Time is of the essence.” Garcia said. “I think it can be resolved quickly with the timelines.” “This case will most likely go through appeals,” Papandrea said. “Allow time to go through the Court of Appeals.” The judge assured counsel he would act in a timely manner. “The delay will not come from me,” said Toia. “The delay will be how much time you each need to submit whatever writings that you’re going to submit.”

Term limits in Warren

Questions about term limits in Warren have gone before a judge — and the voters — several times since they were first enacted in 1998. Most recently, in 2020, 67.8% of Warren voters approved mayoral term limits of three four-year terms, or 12 years. That’s the limit that had been in place for city elected officials in Warren since 1998, when they were put in place with 77.6% of the voters. The limits for the city’s mayors only, and not its other elected officers, were extended in 2016 by a narrower margin of 52.7% during a primary election with much lower turnout following a controversial opinion by former Warren City Attorney David Griem. In 2010, Griem wrote that a change to the city charter that reduced the size of the City Council from nine to seven members elected in five districts and two at-large seats created a bicameral legislature. He opined that the district and at-large seats were separate and distinct offices, and thus subject to a separate application of term limits. His opinion, which withstood a legal challenge in 2015, was the impetus of the 2016 mayoral term limits proposal. Griem’s interpretation was ultimately refuted, however, in 2019, when a Macomb County Circuit Court judge struck it down. The case went all the way to the Michigan Supreme Court and in the end, three City Council incumbents were removed from the ballot by the original application of term limits. Oral arguments in the two open cases were scheduled to be heard by Toia at 10 a.m. on March 20, after the Warren Weekly went to press. Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

ing the family tradition of protecting and serving the Warren community. This was an event that celebrated the accomplishments of newly graduated firefighters from the academy as well as veterans advancing in the ranks of command. Civilians were also recognized for their contributions. Fran Zick, a Meijer cashier, received the Community Service Award. This was awarded to her for her work with the Warren Fire Department coordinating the annual “Shop With a Firefighter” holiday outreach at her local Meijer store. It is an event where kids who may not have anything for Christmas are given a $100 gift card and shop with a firefighter. Asked about her role at the Shop With a Firefighter events, her coworkers said in unison, “Fran coordinates everything.” “We have the best Fire Department and fire commissioner in the state,” Fouts said. “People are always calling me or when they see me, tell me that the Warren Fire Department showed so much care and empathy for our family and our loved one who passed away.”

THERE’S ENUFF ROCK MUSIC FOR EVERYONE BY MARIA ALLARD

allard@candgnews.com

CHESTERFIELD TOWNSHIP — Many Enuff Z’Nuff fans believe the rock band has always been underrated. When searching their songs on YouTube or reading critic reviews, some commentators feel the band members didn’t receive the recognition they deserved for their sound and songwriting. But bassist and lead singer Chip Z’Nuff isn’t too worried about that. “We’re an underground band. It’s more important to make people happy with your music than to make money,” he said. “I am grateful there’s a crowd out there to see us. It’s a blessing from above. We’ve got some pretty good stuff that I’d like to be known for. You still gotta work and give a great show.” As a teenager, Chip and musician Donnie Vie formed Enuff Z’Nuff in 1984 in the Chicago suburb where they lived. The band created plenty of music in nearly 40 years and also withstood many lineup changes, including the eventual departure of Vie. Currently on tour, Enuff Z’Nuff will rock the house March 31 at the Diesel Concert Venue, 33151 23 Mile Road. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the all-ages concert, which will feature special guest Heat Above. For

tickets, visit dieselconcerts.com. Chip — the group’s heart and soul — will bring his musical chops to the stage with guitarists Tory Stoffregen and Jason Camino, and drummer Dan Hill. “We’re going to let the music do the talking. We’ll celebrate the old days; we’ll celebrate the new,” Chip promised. “I still feel like there is more gas in the tank. I’m not stopping. We’re still moving ahead.” With a visible Beatles influence, Enuff Z’Nuff released its self-titled debut album in 1989 at the height of hair band mania. Videos for “Fly High Michelle” and “New Thing” rotated on MTV, and the band even appeared on “Late Night with David Letterman.” The second album “Strength” was released in 1991 with the songs “Baby Loves You” and “Mother’s Eyes” attracting new followers. At the time, the foursome played two shows within a couple years of each other at the now-closed Ritz nightclub in Roseville. Not long after, Seattle’s grunge movement — with its Dr. Martens boots — stomped all over hair metal, which took a back seat to bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam. “You could tell there was a changing of the guard,” Chip remembered. “The colorful, flamboyant, cool rock thing was pushed to the side.” See CHIP on page 20A

‘Vaping is the smoking of teens now.’

During the vaping portion of the workshop, Waske provided a PowerPoint presentation that detailed the dangers of vaping, which is the inhaling of a vapor created by an electronic cigarette or other vaping device. She started her presentation pointing out the various chemicals in vaping products, including nicotine, xylene, styrone, pyrene, benzene, acetone and sulfur. “Ultimately, these are things we don’t want to be putting in our lungs,” Waske said. Waske displayed a chart that explained how nicotine leads to addiction. “Nicotine rewards the brain by releasing dopamine, the ‘feel good’ chemical. When nicotine wears off, the brain craves more,” the chart stated. “The brain learns to depend on nicotine to regulate mood and cause addic-

fine line in wanting to trust your children and wanting to protect them.” The district has endured several social media prank threats this school year. One suggestion from the panel is for parents to conduct random cellphone checks with their children. “There are different apps out there and you can monitor your kids,” Casbar said. “You can restrict their apps. Parents that say, ‘Oh, my kids would never do this,’ I can guarantee that’s the kid that’s doing it.” Students are reminded that if they hear about any potential threats they should contact school personnel immediately or their local police department. Bagiano also advised contacting the OK2SAY program at michigan.gov/ok2say. OK2SAY allows anyone to confidentially report tips on criminal activities or potential harm directed at Michigan students, school employees or schools without having to give their name. “It’s anonymous and it’s worked well in the past,” Bagiano said.

tion.” Kids try vaping for many reasons, including curiosity and peer pressure. “Vaping is the smoking of teens now. We don’t really see cigarettes anymore,” Bagiano said. “There are vaping pens. They come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Some (kids) charge them in their laptops.” “People (vape) when they are stressed,” Waske said. “Using vape increases the risk of future addiction to other drugs.” According to Waske’s presentation, vaping is linked to bronchitis, chest pains, coughing, headaches, insomnia and more. She also showed images of colorful advertisements on vaping products that target kids. Regarding the teens who vape, parents need to ask the question, “Why does my son or daughter vape?” Erickson said. Waske is among the CARE representatives who works with students that have either quit vaping or are making the attempt. “The person who is smoking must be ready to quit. There is peer support,” Waske said. “We meet and learn different coping skills, and how to stand up to their peers and be firm.” Tonya and Bryan Hudson, whose daughter attends Sterling Heights High School, were among the parents who attended the workshop. “It’s a very strong topic. I think there’s a need in the community,” Tonya Hudson said. “We as parents need to know what’s out there. We need to keep our eyes and ears open about it.” “I think (vaping) is part of a subculture,” Bryan Hudson said. “The students who are using have their own subculture.” The colorful packaging on vaping products really opened his eyes. “When I think about nicotine, I don’t think about products that look like candy,” he said. “That’s almost an attack on our youth. We have the chance to protect them from it.” For more information on CARE of Southeastern Michigan; visit careofsem.com.

MACOMB, OAKLAND COUNTIES EARN F RATING FROM AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION BY MARY BETH ALMOND

malmond@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Struggling to breathe has become all too common for 12-year-old Oscar Hauptman. His mother, Elizabeth Hauptman, said Oscar’s asthma is triggered the most on hot summer days, limiting his ability to play sports, be active outside and even breathe. “He will start coughing, and he’ll tell me that it feels like somebody is sitting on his chest. I know that we’ll have to use his rescue inhaler the entire way home, until he gets to his nebulizer, and if his nebulizer doesn’t work, we’re rushing to an emergency room,” she said. “It’s scary for all of us but especially for our kids.” Michigan has one of the highest asthma

rates in the country, according to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, and now data show that Detroiters are far more likely to have asthma than the rest of Michigan’s population. “Over 250,000 children here in Michigan have asthma, and about one in four folks in the Detroit ZIP code have asthma,” Hauptman explained. The MDHHS reported that the rate of asthma hospitalizations was at least four times higher in Detroit than in the rest of Michigan between 2016 and 2019. Data show that approximately three times as many people died from asthma in Detroit between 2017 and 2019 as did in all of Michigan and that adult Detroiters had a current asthma prevalence 46% higher than those in the rest of Michigan — a figure up from the 26% in 2016.

Researchers from the United States Environmental Protection Agency have long linked asthma with exposure to air pollution. In Michigan, Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties are three of 12 counties across the state with an F rating from the American Lung Association’s 2022 State of the Air Report due to high ozone days and particle pollution. The data are alarming to Hauptman, a field organizer for the Michigan chapter of the advocacy group Moms Clean Air Force. Moms Clean Air Force is a community of

more than 1 million people nationally — and more than 34,600 moms and dads across Michigan — united against air pollution and health impacts on children. EPA officials say ground-level ozone and airborne particles are the most threatening air pollutants to human health. Ground-level ozone occurs when sunlight combines with chemical emissions derived from the burning of fossil fuels in motor vehicle exhaust, industrial emissions, gasoline vapors and chemical solvents.

Ali Endocrinology: Now accepting new patients!

Shamsa Ali, M.D.

Board Certiﬁed Endocrinologist

Mention this AD, Get a FREE screening For Diabetes or Thyroid Cancer

Shamsa Ali, M.D., is an established endocrinologist with nearly 20 years of experience and extensive training in the endocrine system. She received her fellowship in endocrinology at Tulane University School of Medicine and spent a number of years on faculty there, and she has been published in several medical journals. After operating a practice in Port Huron for more than 10 years, where she has a proven track record of providing high-quality care to patients, Dr. Ali recently opened an ofﬁce in Warren. She combines both traditional and holistic medicine to diagnose and treat chronic conditions such as diabetes, thyroid and parathyroid disease, adrenal gland disorders, menopause, calcium, osteoporosis and other bone disorders. She also performs thyroid biopsies and treats thyroid cancer. “I was drawn to endocrinology because it’s so cerebral,” said Dr. Ali. “The endocrine system is a connective messenger system of glands that secrete chemicals called hormones to help your body function properly. Hormones make so much sense in the body and add up to so much medically.”

Dr. Ali gets a lot of satisfaction out of introducing her patients to the latest advancements in treating both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, and well as other endocrine and metabolic disorders. “Diabetes is on the rise,” she said. In fact, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 1 in 10 Americans (37.3 million) have diabetes and 1 out of 3 Americans have prediabetes. “Sometimes people could have an illness like diabetes and not know. By the time people get diagnosed with diabetes they’ve often had it for years and it’s already caused damage in the body.” She highly encourages people who are even slightly overweight to come in for a screening. “We can now offer patients so much more than when I ﬁrst started treating diabetes because there are many new medications and options,” Dr. Ali said. “Back in the day the only options were insulin and a couple of oral medications.” One of her goals is to lessen the burden of the disease on her patients. “Today, there are several new medications to treat diabetes — insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors that practically let

patients see their blood sugars on a smart phone anytime, and they do not have to prick their ﬁngers,” she added. Dr. Ali also focuses on women’s health, weight loss management and nutrition — and she prescribes the popular Ozempic and Wegovy medications that treat diabetes and help with weight management. Her new practice is equipped with advanced technology and staffed by a friendly and professional team who pride themselves on creating a comfortable and welcoming environment for patients. Dr. Ali strives to form lasting relationships with each of her patients, and with the addition of this new location more patients will have access to her expertise and exceptional care. “I have patients who drive all the way from Kentucky or Ohio just to see me,” Dr. Ali said, adding that, thanks to telemedicine, she even sees patients from as far away as Arizona and Florida. Whether you’re seeking treatment for a chronic condition or a new diagnosis, Dr. Ali is committed to providing the highest quality care to help you achieve optimal health and wellness.

at low concentrations, officials say, ozone can trigger a variety of health problems, including lung irritation and inflammation, asthma attacks, wheezing, coughing, and increased susceptibility to respiratory illnesses. Airborne particles can come from atmospheric chemical reactions or from wildfires, construction sites and the burning of fossil fuels. This pollution, officials say, can cause chronic bronchitis, asthma attacks, decreased lung function, coughing, painful breathing, cardiac problems and heart attacks as well as a variety of serious environmental impacts, such as acidification of lakes and streams and nutrient depletion in soils and water bodies. In Michigan, Moms Clean Air Force works actively to fight for cleaner air by advocating for the transition of the state’s school bus fleet to electric, defending the state’s Clean Car Standards and working to protect families from PFAS chemicals, air pollution from industrial facilities and mercury pollution. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances are chemicals used to make coatings and products that resist heat, oil, stains, grease and water in everything from clothing and furniture to food packaging and nonstick cooking surfaces, according to the Centers for Dis-

ease Control and Prevention. They are called “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment, and they bio-accumulate in wildlife and humans. They may affect reproduction, thyroid function and the immune system, and they may injure the liver, according to the CDC. “There are so many solutions that we are working towards, like asking for stronger tailpipe protections, transitioning into electric school buses, that type of thing, so we can move forward on helping our kids and finding solutions for these problems,” Hauptman said. Moms Clean Air Force offers a variety of opportunities for public engagement and advocacy. “Everything from education to getting involved with meeting with your representative to insist that they do things that will protect our kids from the impacts of pollution and poor air quality,” Hauptman said. Nicky Marcot, a longtime volunteer for Mom’s Clean Air Force, said she became involved with the organization in 2019 after reading an article about how climate change was impacting people’s decisions to have children. “A friend sent me an article about climate change and how young people and adults around the country in their 20s and 30s were choosing to not have children because of the future of the planet. I had never

thought about climate change in that light before.” She said it made her want to “become active in a way that I could help make a difference regarding climate issues.” With three children under 8 and a busy schedule, Marcot had limited time to advocate. “I knew I had space while the kids were napping, I had space in the evening and space on the weekends, so based on that, I was able to do as much as I was able — which, in that case, usually constituted maybe a total of two to three hours a month worth of activism,” she said. “Organizations like Moms Clean Air Force do a really good job of providing their volunteers with opportunities that are manageable, not overwhelming, easy and effective.” Whether it was logging in online and doing a five-minute testimony in front of the EPA, taking a picture of herself holding a sign stating how much she cares about the air her kids are breathing, signing a petition or signing a letter, Marcot knows she is making a difference. “There might have been months where I did more — for instance, I took a trip to D.C., and that was an entire weekend. But most of the time, it was just five or 10 minutes here or there,” she said. “When you have millions of people across the country taking five or 10 minutes here or there, it makes a huge difference.”

And their work seems to be paying off. In November, the EPA announced that school districts in all 50 states and the District of Columbia will receive funding to replace diesel school buses with zero-emission electric models. In Michigan, approximately $54 million in U.S. EPA grant awards will fund 138 electric buses in 25 Michigan public schools and districts in Alcona, Armada, Au GresSims, Beecher, Bessemer, Britton, Cassopolis, Chesaning Union, Dearborn, Deerfield, Harbor Beach, Hartfield, Homer, Hopkins, Jackson, L’Anse, Mayville, Ojibwe Charter, Pellston, Pentwater, Pontiac, Sand Creek, Ubly, Unionville-Sebewaing and Ypsilanti. To learn more about Moms Clean Air Force, or to tour an electric school bus, attend the Oakland County Earth Day Climate March, Rally and Fair 9 a.m.-1 p.m. April 22 at Centennial Commons Park, on Troy Street in Royal Oak. The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature various organizations like Moms Clean Air Force. “There are all sorts of ways and opportunities for folks to be involved at every level, and you don’t have to be a parent to get involved with Moms Clean Air Force,” Hauptman said.

‘Queen Bees and Wannabes’ author visits Tower High School BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

WARREN — That is “so fetch.” That phrase will sound familiar to anyone who saw the 2004 movie “Mean Girls,” starring Lindsay Lohan. The popular film, written by actress Tina Fey of “Saturday Night Live” fame, was based on the book “Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence,” by Rosalind Wiseman. On the evening of March 6, Wiseman brought her message to Warren Woods Tower High School to talk to families about the advantages and disadvantages of social media and how it affects mental health. The New York Times bestselling author — also the co-founder of Cultures of Dignity, which works with others to successfully navigate the social challenges of young adulthood — offered scenarios and advice to parents and students in the audience. Wiseman pointed out children and teenagers

imbursement specialist; professional coder; nursing assistant; dental assistant; laboratory assistant; medical assistant; pharmacy technician and phlebotomy. A certified professional coder, for example, updates patient records with standardized information needed for data management and billing purposes. Students who enroll in the phlebotomy program learn how to draw blood from patients and prepare the samples for testing. Classes will be held at South Campus in Warren and at Center Campus in Clinton Township. For more information about health care apprenticeships, email jurya707@macomb.edu. Macomb’s MAP+ program was created in 2016 with funding through the U.S. Department of Labor American Apprenticeship Initiative. From 2016 to 2021, the college registered 375 apprentices representing 41 employers in the region and served 452 pre-apprentices. The MAP+ program continuation is supported by a $610,000 appropriation through U.S. Sen. Gary Peters, D-Michigan. “Ensuring that our community’s resi-

dents have access to the training and support to succeed and prosper in the 21st century workforce, and that local employers have the talent necessary to sustain and grow their businesses is an imperative for Macomb Community College,” Macomb Community College President James O. Sawyer IV said in a prepared statement. “We’re deeply appreciative of the advocacy and action of Sens. Stabenow and Peters to secure critical financial resources that further our work in these areas.” The MAP+ program works in collaboration with the Macomb Intermediate School District to welcome students interested in the region’s construction and manufacturing sectors, including automotive, aerospace and defense. In the program, students enroll in shop math, industrial safety, blueprint reading and hands-on training. The MAP+ Industrial Readiness program is provided at no cost to students. “On successful completion of the classes, which are completed in one semester, students earn a certificate with nine credits that can be applied to an associate degree and are connected to employers seeking talent,” the press release states. MAP+ is seeking students for this fall. If interested or for more information about MAP+, email ahearns@macomb.edu.

IT’S ONLY ROCK ‘N’ ROLL FOR THIS RETIREE BY MARIA ALLARD

See ROLLING STONES on page 24A

CENTER LINE — When British music author Richard Houghton sought input from Rolling Stones fans for his book “All Down The Line: A People’s History of the Rolling Stones 1972 North American Tour,” he heard from more than 300 concertgoers. One admirer included retired Center Line High School teacher Richard McMahon, whose memories about the Stones’ 1972 concert at Cobo Hall made it into Houghton’s publication. “I was interested to hear his recollections of the gig after reading a comment he posted on Facebook. He gave me a great portrait of the atmosphere at that show and what it was like to see the Rolling Stones in action at the height of their powers,” said Houghton, of Manchester, England, via email. “It’s perhaps the most celebrated tour in rock history, and Richard McMahon caught one of the two shows they played in Detroit at the Cobo Hall on July 13 and 14.” “All Down the Line” is a song on the band’s 1972 album “Exile on Main St.” When reached via email, McMahon said he felt “very honored” to be included.

today don’t have the privacy of past generations “because of social media and tracking devices.” “Social media is about creating, connecting and consuming,” Wiseman said. “When we post anything on social media, you are trying to please an invisible audience. It becomes visible depending on how many ‘likes’ you get.” Adults and teens who post on TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram and Facebook should ask themselves, “How does what you’re posting show how you see the world? What you’re proud of about yourself? What you think is important? How much of your social media is fake?” She suggested several things that students and their parents could do together to “get a grip” on social media. They included unfollowing five accounts that make you compare your life to other people, turning off notifications, checking in with each other to be honest and following two people that are inspirational. “We live in a world that does not want us to be happy,” Wiseman continued. “As we go through the ups and downs of life, it’s important to remember, ‘What is our foundation?’” She, too, wanted each person in the audience to ask themselves that night, “What do you think your family values are?” The writer gave an example of her own experiences with her two sons, stating that it’s OK for parents to ask for guidance. She told the crowd her older son, an athlete who did well in school, had anxiety and “would feel overwhelmed by things.” She reached out to others for help. “When something bad is happening to your kids, you feel like you are in a storm and you don’t know what to do. I had to have support around me to be able to help him because, as a parent, I loved him too much. My anxiety and being upset stopped me from being able sometimes to help him the way he needed,” Wiseman said. “I had a lot of people who knew him and loved him be able to help me and my husband through. Sometimes we get this message as parents (that) we have to do all this ourselves. We have to have people around us, which gets us to this cliché that it takes a village to raise a child. “But guess what? Villages are really complicated. People don’t agree in a village. People get into arguments about parenting in a village. They have very different rules about social media. It’s complicated,” Wiseman said. “So, I am going to give you some

thoughts about how to make it less complicated. My goal tonight is that you walk out of here thinking about something differently and something you can employ in your life right now.”

‘Dignity is the inherent worth of each of us’

Her five points for happiness included meaning beyond oneself, hope of success, social connection, satisfying work, and a place to process and find peace. She also feels the word “respect” isn’t always fully understood and explained the difference between respect and dignity. “Respect is one of the most overused, misused words in school. Every school in the country has the word ‘respect’ on the walls. Respect is used dishonestly. Respect is earned. Respect is admiring somebody’s actions,” Wiseman said. “Dignity is given. Dignity is a base level that everybody gets. Dignity is the inherent worth of each of us. Using a word to put somebody down is taking away their dignity.” And if a classmate mistreats you, Wiseman’s advice is: “You do not have to be friends with this kid. You don’t have to respect that kid’s action, but you need to treat that person with dignity.” While Wiseman is best known for her book about girls navigating through adolescence, the Colorado resident reminded the audience young boys face problems and they have feelings, too. Sometimes, when they’re quiet or playing a video game alone, it doesn’t mean something isn’t bothering them. “Boys manifest their feelings differently. Boys have deep emotional connections to each other. Everything in boy world always has to be funny,” Wiseman said. “Just because you are a boy doesn’t mean you have to sit there and say, ‘I’m fine.’” Listening is important for both kids and adults. Sometimes, “We are so hard on people, we can’t focus on solving the problems,” Wiseman advised. Wiseman is the author of three other books, including “Masterminds and Wingmen: Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-Room Tests, Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World.” She also wrote “Boys, Girls, and Other Hazardous Materials,” and “Courageous Discomfort: How to Have Important, Brave, Life-Changing Conversations about Race and Racism.” District Superintendent Stacey Denewith-Fici said that last fall, school officials sent out a survey to parents asking them what they would like to see in terms of a community event. “The majority of parents listed social media and mental health as the two topics they were most interested in learning about,”

Denewith-Fici said. Plans then were made to invite Wiseman to the school. Marcy Young, the mother of an 11-year-old daughter and two stepchildren, was among the parents who attended the presentation. “I wanted to see other people’s view-

points on how cellphones are affecting other families,” Young said, adding that she enjoyed Wiseman’s presentation. “She’s very intelligent. She knows her stuff. It was very informative. I want to read her books.” Call Staff Writer Maria Allard at (586) 498-1045.

Chip

from page 12A

Looking back, Chip wondered why both music genres didn’t coexist. “I have nothing bad to say about those bands,” Chip said. “We could have kept it all going.”

‘They are always great live, fun to watch and tight as musicians’

Enuff Z’Nuff soldiered on, releasing more albums and touring with REO Speedwagon, Ace Frehley, Poison, Cheap Trick and Alice Cooper. Last fall, their music took them to the U.K., the Netherlands and Spain with Skid Row. “They’re starving for rock ‘n’ roll in Spain and England,” Chip said. Part of that has to do with the COVID-19 lockdowns, which Chip believes made people realize “how important it is for all of us to celebrate music.”

Chip has saturated himself in rock ‘n’ roll since he began attending concerts as a young child. For starters, the experience of seeing Queen, Kansas and Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush for $5 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago in 1975 is a rock-solid memory. “Brian May’s guitar riffs and Freddie Mercury’s lyrics, it was fantastic,” said Chip, whose birth name is Gregory Rybarski. “Frank Marino came out for an encore and did ‘The Star-Spangled Banner.’” The night didn’t end there. “I remember going into the alleyway after the show. I guess it was a Town Car back there,” Chip said. “Brian May, we all waved to him, and he waved to everyone. Freddie Mercury came out and gave the peace sign. Radio really embraced Queen and they really took off. Radio broke Queen and made them (a) household name.” Nowadays, it’s much harder to get a hit song via radio airplay. “Now it’s movies, commercials and TV shows,” Chip said. “It’s a tough business.

Bands like Dirty Honey, Rival Sons, the Struts, Greta Van Fleet, they’re good bands and they’re carrying the flag. They’re working really hard, and I’m rooting for them that they do very well.” Enuff Z’Nuff ’s most recent album, “Finer Than Sin,” was released in 2022. As a bonus, Chip is one of several rock ‘n’ rollers that recorded duets with veteran actress Ann-Margret for her new album, “Born To Be Wild,” set for release April 14. While she and Chip recorded the classic “Why Do Fools Fall in Love” at separate times, he finally met the screen icon at a listening party. “She’s so beautiful,” Chip said. “I think we took a nice approach on (the song.) It was an honor to do it.” In the meantime, music lovers can check out Chip’s Monsters of Rock radio show on Dash Radio at dashradio.com/ monstersofrock. Local music promoter Howie Herula, of Warren, plans to catch Enuff Z’Nuff ’s show March 31. He’s been a fan since the

Judge Julie Gatti listens to arguments from attorneys Lawrence Garcia and Jeffrey Schroder in Macomb County Circuit Court on March 6.

Lawsuit from page 1A

The Warren City charter states that City Council members are limited to the greater of three complete four-year terms or 12 years. Both sides cited the charter for proving their case; however, their interpretations are vastly different. Each legal team told the Warren Weekly what they would like to see happen in this case. “We are asking the judge to enforce the

term limits and grant an order that would say Mr. Green is no longer eligible and Mr. Boike is now the City Council member in his seat,” said Boike’s attorney, Lawrence Garcia, of the Miller Canfield law firm. “We ask the court to grant our motion for summary disposition, to put an end to this case,” said Green’s attorney, Jeffrey Schroder, of the law firm Plunkett Cooney. Further, Schroder said, “We are expecting and hoping that the court will uphold the will of the people from the 2019 election and let Mr. Green serve his term.” In his argument, Garcia said: “The See LAWSUIT on page 26A

Rolling Stones from page 18A

“I saw a notice from the author asking for concert memories from Stones fans who were fortunate enough to have seen the band during their whirlwind tour. Having vivid memories of that show at Cobo Hall, I sent off my account. I was very happy to have my recollection of that concert included, as The Rolling Stones are still a premier band and one my favorites,” McMahon said. “Their music is still played on various media outlets daily around the world, and young teachers I worked with were fans of the Stones. Many paid hundreds of dollars to see the Stones even though they were several generations removed from (Mick) Jagger and company.

If longevity is the highest benchmark for quality, the Stones win hands down.” Looking back, McMahon remembered there was a lot of anticipation for the concert at Cobo Hall, which is now known as Huntington Place. Tickets were limited and not easy to come by, but McMahon managed to get two for the upper level. Since his girlfriend Debbie at the time, now his wife, couldn’t make the show due to her nursing job in Grayling, McMahon took his younger sister, Gloria. Motown artist Stevie Wonder opened the show. McMahon felt like his set was short, but the crowd was really into him. Fans roared when the Rolling Stones hit the stage. McMahon can still remember some of the songs on the set list, including “Street Fighting Man,” “Love in Vain,” “Midnight

Rambler,” and “Sympathy for the Devil.” Jagger danced almost the entire time they played. According to McMahon, “Jagger was the ultimate rock showman, and Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman and other supporting musicians in the lineup were consummate musicians who entertained, taking their audience to new levels of enchantment with their songs and rock wizardry.” While the Stones rocked Cobo Hall to its core, the musicians also showed a softer side during an acoustic set, which McMahon felt demonstrated the rock group’s musical range. “They are the world’s greatest rock and roll band, but they’re also a great blues band and the acoustic songs proved that,” he said. McMahon was a school media special-

ist, journalism teacher and girls and boys varsity tennis coach. He retired from the school district in June of 2011 after 39 years. He was also the advisor of the Center Line High School newspaper, “The Free Wood, ‘’ in the ’70s and ’80s. One highlight was when student Lynn Zott was a finalist in a Focus: HOPE writing contest. She and the other finalists were honored at a luncheon at the Detroit Press Club, which news anchor Bill Bonds hosted. The ceremony was covered by local television. “All Down The Line: A People’s History of the Rolling Stones 1972 North American Tour,” was published in 2022 by Spenwood Books Ltd., Manchester, England and is available from Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

A colorectal screening saved my life.

When Deborah’s severe stomach pain wouldn’t go away, she was referred to a Henry Ford Health gastroenterologist and underwent a colonoscopy. This screening revealed a near-obstructing colon cancer that required surgery, then three months of chemotherapy. At her follow-up colonoscopy, the cancer was gone and she is now on a five-year screening plan—and back to working her full-time job as a caregiver at a senior assisted living facility, spending time with her five grandchildren, and resuming a crafting and woodworking business with her daughter.

Lawsuit from page 22A

most important thing, there is a term limit stated in Warren’s charter that no one should be eligible for more than the greater of three complete terms or 12 years. Those are synonymous concepts, because the current term of a council member is four years. “There is nothing in the language that would rule out the concept of midterm vacancies,” Garcia added. Further, Garcia said, “The term is set at four years. Section 4.2 does not give council the power to overrule the charter’s term limits. They cannot overrule the 1998 election on term limits.” “The language reads clearly to avoid absurd outcomes,” Garcia said. “The term limitation was the law of the land.” In his argument, Schroder said: “Our position is there is not a 12-year hard cap on service. It is the greater of three complete terms or 12 years. Patrick Green served a little over one year, call it a partial term, call it an incomplete term in office. We are saying that the charter says that term does not count for the term limits.” Schroder added, “Much like the state constitution does not count partial terms. The state constitution has specific wording

A lawsuit filed in Macomb County Circuit Court has asked a judge to determine whether Warren City Council President Pat Green, left, has exceeded city term limits and should be replaced by Gary Boike, right, who finished third in the race for Warren’s two at-large City Council seats in 2019.

about if you serve greater than half a term, then it counts as a full term. But the Warren charter does not have that language.” In his rebuttal, Garcia said: “The language of the words selected are important. We don’t want to read words into the proposal that are not there.” He added: “But we can take note of words that are left out. Such as we see in the state constitution. That clearly anticipates midterm vacancies and rules them out. There is no such language in this ballot proposal. Therefore, the possibility of midterm vacancies has to be recognized and given full effect.” Garcia asked the court for a timely decision. “Time is of the essence because the partial term that we’re fighting for here will be over in November,” Garcia said. “I will get you an opinion quickly,” said Gatti. “I do understand your point. Time is of the essence. I won’t leave you waiting too long.” Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

The driver also didn’t have insurance, but that wasn’t what led to his arrest. Police said that when they ran the driver’s name through the Law Enforcement Information Network, they discovered that he was wanted on a felony warrant for forgery out of Shelby Township and a felony warrant for fraud out of Eastpointe. He was arrested on the warrants and was slated to be picked up by Shelby Township police.
